PILGRIMAGE

 

            Strange how we feel the need      on anniversaries
            to re-visit the sights
            of past catastrophes

 

             at the extreme
             we will seek to climb back inside our mothers
             we will spend our lives searching for Eden             

 

              today marks 2 years since
              since the day we
              and I am going back and
              I wonder if that place will be drowning in blackness
              our drifting shadows still there like sea behind fog

 

               I wonder if you remember
               If you too move through sorrow today
               If it powers your limbs and speech

               I will ask the little birds       tomorrow
               today       there is a train to catch
